This is Beatrice. Beatrice is a two plus decades old butterfly bush. Beatrice was given to us years ago, by a sweet and beautiful lady. Quiet and kind, she was an avid gardener and would spend hours tending to and growing plants. Unfortunately, the wonderful lady became ravaged by multiple sclerosis. Moving from a cane, to walker then finally wheelchair. Yet she continued to care for her plants, until the end.
Today Beatrice entertains bumble bees, humming birds and occasionally small children. She brings beauty and warmth into the park for all to share. And this, one small gift from a wonderful lady, now gone, lives on to this day. Thank you Beatrice and thank you Ms. E, for the gift.
